Tiana made up her mind. Without the slightest hesitation, she retreated at top speed.
Han Shuo and his party fought in the capital city of Kasi Empire. Although the crowd around the auction house had been evacuated, there were still all kinds of stalls in several blocks further away. When Kelly had transformed into the Colossal Ape, his enormous body had been clearly seen by the many small merchants and peddlers around him. Later on, when Tiana had conjured five water dragons, their vast momentum had thoroughly frightened them. For a time, it had caused a huge panic in the downtown area.
Several nearby armies of Kasi Empire immediately rushed towards the center of the city, ready to set out. While Tiana was retreating, she saw a brigade of knights from Kasi Empire heading towards them in full armor. She hastily flew towards them.
The Shrine of Ice held an extremely special status in Kasi Empire. The importance His Majesty the King attached to the Shrine of Ice was well-known throughout the nation. Seeing Tiana rapidly retreating to the brigade of knights, Han Shuo's body immediately halted midway.
After Snow Celestial Tiana's soul had successfully fused with the Origin Crystal of Water, her strength had increased substantially from her original foundation. Now that Tiana had retreated to the brigade of knights, it was almost impossible for Han Shuo to kill her.
Her strength was originally about the same as Han Shuo's. As long as Han Shuo couldn't suddenly approach her, Han Shuo indeed wouldn't be able to inflict serious damage on her.
At this moment, due to the panicked retreat of the Shrine of Ice, Snow Celestial Tiana and Ice Celestial Corey's party were separated by a large distance. Not far away, Ice Celestial Corey was leading a group of Shrine of Ice disciples, retreating towards the magical transportation matrix at the center of Ciro City.
Kelly, in the form of a giant ape, was hot on Ice Celestial Corey's tail. However, Corey was extremely cunning. He simply shuttled back and forth between those fleeing merchants and peddlers. Kelly, who believed in the teachings of the Druidic Order, couldn't bear to involve those innocent merchants and peddlers. Although he had the opportunity to strike, he held back due to his scruples.
At this rate, neither Han Shuo nor Kelly seemed to have any way of succeeding. Han Shuo froze in the void for a moment, then promptly made a decision to turn around. He no longer cared about Tiana, who was hiding in the middle of a knight battalion with lingering fear, and chased after the craftily escaping Ice Celestial Corey.
As long as Tiana couldn't make it in time, Han Shuo and Kelly could join forces to deal with Ice Celestial Corey alone. Given his wounded body, it was absolutely impossible for him to hold out for too long. Han Shuo was confident that he could kill him in a short time.
Kelly could not bear to involve the innocent, and could only watch helplessly as such a great opportunity slipped away from him. However, Han Shuo naturally would not be so indecisive. Once he allowed Han Shuo to get close to Ice Celestial Corey, regardless of who was beside him, Han Shuo would strike ruthlessly!
Tiana gasped for breath as she floated in midair with her magic staff in hand. Her eyes were glistening as she stared at Han Shuo, ready to deal with Han Shuo's thunderous attacks in an instant.
Tiana felt a lot safer in the middle of the knight battalion. As long as she could put some distance between Han Shuo and her, Tiana believed that her magic would definitely be able to finish off Han Shuo. After her soul had fused with the Origin Crystal, she discovered that every water magic she released was so carefree and unrestrained.
Apart from some water magic that was extremely destructive and consumed a lot of mental strength, Tiana didn't even need to chant incantations for some mid to high level water magic. With a single thought, the magic would be completed.
When she was escaping just now, Tiana had used the silent casting method to instantly deploy layers of ice walls to slow down Han Shuo's high speed. After feeling that her strength had greatly improved, she was obviously full of confidence.
However, just as she was focusing all her attention on Han Shuo and had made all her preparations, she suddenly discovered that Han Shuo was retreating like lightning. Tiana was stunned at first, thinking that Han Shuo was playing some crafty scheme. It was only when Han Shuo and Ice Celestial Corey were getting closer and closer that she came to her senses with a start. She knew that Han Shuo was planning to concentrate his forces and finish off Ice Celestial Corey first.
"Oh no!" Tiana was greatly alarmed. She hastily said, "Attack with all your might! Kill that enemy demon at all costs!"
"Yes!" An earth-shattering response rang out. Under Tiana's command, the knight battalion immediately charged towards the colossal ape.
Tiana took the lead. Like a white ribbon, she recklessly chased after Han Shuo's flight path.
"Let's join hands and finish off Corey first!" Han Shuo's voice suddenly rang out just as Kelly was hot on Ice Celestial Corey's tail without making a move.
"No, there are too many innocent people around him. We can't make a move here!" Kelly was first startled when he saw Han Shuo approaching, but immediately stopped him.
Han Shuo cursed inwardly. He thought to himself, This Kelly is really pedantic. No wonder he suffered a crushing defeat in Kasi Empire back then. Based on his style of doing things, it would be exceedingly difficult to eradicate his enemies!
Han Shuo inwardly cursed at Kelly's pedantry. He couldn't care less whether or not he would harm the innocent. Besides, these innocent people weren't citizens of Brettel City. He couldn't care less. Before he even got close to Ice Celestial Corey, Han Shuo had already flung out a Bloody Radiance of Ten Thousand Cuts.
As soon as Ice Celestial Corey heard Han Shuo's voice, he immediately knew things weren't looking good. He understood that Han Shuo and Kelly were entirely different types. Therefore, when Han Shuo's voice rang out, he no longer dared to hide among the crowd. He abruptly soared into the air and flew outwards.
Under Han Shuo's control, the Bloody Radiance of Ten Thousand Cuts closely followed Ice Celestial Corey. If Corey hadn't immediately flown out, then all the merchants around him would have been affected and died under the Bloody Radiance of Ten Thousand Cuts.
"As expected, it's this god of death!" Ice Celestial Corey felt an incomparable headache. The unscrupulous Han Shuo was obviously much more difficult to deal with than Kelly. Ice Celestial Corey, who was already injured to begin with, had just been struck by Han Shuo. Without Tiana's help, if he were to face either Han Shuo or Kelly alone, he would definitely lose. Now that the two of them were ganging up on him, he had even less of a chance.
Clang! While fleeing, Ice Celestial Corey had no choice but to pull himself out to block a sword strike. Icicles rained down from the sky, and Han Shuo's Bloody Radiance of Ten Thousand Cuts was broken by Ice Celestial Corey in one strike.
Han Shuo let out a soft "eh?". While closely pursuing Ice Celestial Corey, he was somewhat astonished.
As it turned out, when Ice Celestial Corey broke Han Shuo's Bloody Radiance of Ten Thousand Cuts, he had deliberately expended a bit more energy to forcibly destroy the shooting force, so as not to bring disaster to the merchants and peddlers below.
As soon as he connected this with Corey's sudden action of flying out from the crowd, Han Shuo suddenly realized that Ice Celestial Corey wasn't completely useless. Although he was extremely callous and merciless towards his enemies and the dark dragons, he was still very protective towards the people of his own country. Unlike what Han Shuo had imagined, he didn't care about the civilians of Kasi Empire at all.
Previously, when Kelly was hot on his heels, Han Shuo had hidden himself among the civilians. He had grasped Kelly's intentions and knew that Kelly would never attack civilians. That was why he had blatantly taken advantage of Kelly's weakness and calmly escaped.
At least you still have some humanity left in you, thought Han Shuo coldly. He did not stop in the slightest. At this moment, he was already very close to Ice Celestial Corey. As he chanted an incantation, rows of bone spears whooshed towards Ice Celestial Corey.
Due to the delay caused by the Bloody Radiance of Ten Thousand Cuts, Ice Celestial Corey was already within Han Shuo's attack range. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Kelly, who had transformed into a giant ape, finally arrived at Han Shuo's side after carefully avoiding the civilians below his feet.
"Don't give him any time!" Han Shuo immediately shouted after the bone spears were shot out in rows.
Generally speaking, experts whose strength had reached the demigod level were bound to have a way to preserve their lives. At the very least, they would surely have a spatial scroll that could tear apart space. This was the precious experience Han Shuo had accumulated after many years of battles.
Therefore, when he saw that his side now occupied an overwhelming advantage, Han Shuo believed that Ice Celestial Corey would certainly resort to extraordinary measures. At this moment, he absolutely could not allow Corey to escape so easily. Otherwise, all his previous efforts today would be in vain.
Han Shuo's loud shout immediately reminded Kelly of this point. After all, the Druidic Order was not a church that was ruthless and exterminating. As the leader of the Druidic Order, Kelly did not have a heart as ruthless as Han Shuo.
But after Han Shuo's loud shout, Kelly immediately reacted. Suddenly, the scene of the Druidic Order's followers being brutally murdered by the Shrine of Ice in Kasi Empire many years ago surfaced in Kelly's mind. Whenever he recalled Corey's merciless and cruel treatment of his enemies, Kelly knew that if Corey did not die today, the Druidic Order would certainly pay an enormous price.
"Roar …" Kelly bellowed at the sky. He took a huge step forward and blocked off Corey's only escape route. No one knew what Kelly had done, but following his heaven-shaking bellow, layers of ripples appeared in the sky. The elements of heaven and earth were suddenly thrown into chaos. It was as though the sky had suddenly collapsed.
After Kelly's bellow, Ice Celestial Corey sensed the changes in the sky and immediately understood that the spatial scroll was useless. When he saw Kelly blocking off his escape route and Han Shuo recklessly charging at him, Corey's face turned ashen. He knew that his life had come to an end today!
"Not good!" Kelly suddenly yelled, turning pale with fright.
When Han Shuo, who had already reached Ice Celestial Corey, heard Kelly's loud shout and saw the enormous Kelly rapidly retreating, he suddenly understood something. Like Han Shuo, he reined in his horse at the brink of the precipice and abruptly froze on the spot.
A dazzling radiance, mixed with terrifying energy, erupted from Ice Celestial Corey's body, causing destructive energy undulations within a range of ten meters. Cracks that resembled the pattern of a turtle's shell appeared in the space. When Ice Celestial Corey was reduced to ashes, the cracks instantly sucked in everything.
Under the relentless pursuit of Han Shuo and Kelly, Ice Celestial Corey was forced to his death!
